Our Daf deals with various manners of acquisition. Torah is also something that is acquired.
Once it (the Torah) is acquired, it becomes part of us. Harav Yehudah Halevi in his classic Sefer Hakuzari (Kuzari 2 79) written more than 9 centuries ago addresses the question why is it that Klal Yisroel sway their entire bodies while learning Torah.
